Alturas Duo: South American Folkloric Music

The only group of its kind, the Alturas Duo was formed with the idea of playing South American and classical music by bringing together the unusual combination of the viola, charango, and guitar. In doing so, they created passionate music that moves with ease between the baroque, South American folk rhythms, and new pieces written especially for the Duo. “A concert by the Alturas Duo is,” according to the director of La Guitarra California Festival, “a memorable experience....Their unique blend of South American and classical music... is incomparable.... Their pure joy and enthusiasm for this lively music is immediately apparent and captivating.”
